Target (protein/gene name): triosephosphate isomerase

NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: GI: 71755425

Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: XP_828627.1

Organism (including strain): trypanosoma brucei

Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): Risk Group 2: Bacterial agents

Disease Information:
A protozoa of the speciestrypanosoma brucei (gambiense) causes African trypanosomiasis, a sleeping sickness, in humans. It is usually transmitted by the bite of an infected tsetse fly found most commonly in rural areas around sub-Saharan Africa. Symptoms include fevers, headaches, itchiness, joint pains, confusion, poor coordination, numbness and trouble sleeping. Diagnosis is via finding the parasite in a blood smear or in the fluid of a lymph node.
